Application:
l PEG is the basis of many skin creams (as cetomacrogol) and personal lubricants.
l PEG is used in a number of toothpastes as a dispersant. In this application, it binds water and helps keep xanthan gum uniformly distributed throughout the toothpaste.
l PEG is under investigation for use in liquid body armor, and in tattoos to monitor diabetes.
l Polymer segments derived from PEG polyols impart flexibility to polyurethanes for applications such as elastomeric fibers (spandex) and foam cushions.
l In low-molecular-weight formulations (e.g. PEG 400), it is used in Hewlett-Packard design jet printers as an ink solvent and lubricant for the print heads.
l PEG is used as an anti-foaming agent in food and drinks – its INS number is 1521 or E1521 in the EU.
